MTN PROJECT FAME WEST AFRICA III Auditions Begin Today

The auditioning of contenders for the much awaited MTN Project Fame West Africa Season 3 finally kicks off today in three locations. According to a release by the organisers, the annual star hunt, which has attracted much followership due to the prospects and recognition accorded the winner, will screen participants from Enugu, Kaduna and Ghana regions.

Star Weekly! gathered that this edition of the event promises to take the excitement a bit higher in order to discover the next music star.
Last year, 26 year old undergraduate student of Ambrose Alli University, Mike Anyasodo, emerged winner of the Season 2 of the contest. On Sunday 28th of September 2009, Mike fought off tough competition from his fellow final 5 contestants: Liberian Nicholas Buigar, Madonna Robinson, Tomiwa Sangonuga and Krimi Johnson. The 2nd season of MTN Project Fame commenced two months earlier and the contestants were groomed for stardom by the academy’s team of coaches and advisers. They performed each week for the televised broadcast as contestant after contestant was eliminated from the competition.
As his star prize, Mike received a N2.5 million cheque, a Toyota RAV 4 and a 1 year recording contract. Nicholas Buigar, the first runner-up, won N1.5 million and a Toyota Corolla; Tomiwa Sangonuga, the second runner-up won N1 million and a Toyota Yaris, while Krimi Johnson, the third runner-up got N1 million.
This year’s edition, according to the organizers, will be a lot more exciting and fun-filled.
